PROJECT
FINISHED
The project should help our young secondary school students to acquire more cultural and professional autonomy on a European scale. Therefore, it seems essential to us to include this kind of experience in our courses in order to achieve various objectives :
- to get our students ready for a five-week stay in a foreign country in March /April 2015 (administrative formalities, transport tickets, adaptability in dealing with technical problems, linguistic improvement),
- to make them experience total immersion in the local way of life of the host country (accommodation, food, management of energy flows, visits, outings, sports, meetings…),
- to widen their knowledge of the gastronomic eating habits of the host country, including ethnic influences,
- to acquire or reinforce their professional skills in the field of catering, by taking part in the activities of the host company (in accordance with the booklet of professional abilities),
- to make them give an account of their stay (a report written and orally presented in French and in the language of the host country, a press book, Internet and intranet communication via the school site and validation of the Europass Mobility Certificate),
- to enhance the professional value of the courses which we offer our students and to facilitate their professional mobility and their employability in their domain.

- 16 students from the “Baccalauréat Professionnel Restauration” (the French equivalent of the GNVQ Advanced Level in Catering), (8 students specializing in Cooking, 8 students specializing in marketing and waitressing), 4 students in “Mention Complémentaire Cuisinier en desserts de restaurant (a Certificate in Pastry Cooking and Confectionery), and 4 students in Complementary Mention Sommellerie (wine waiter’s duties).
